"It's a good workhorse module. Can produce some decent acid but really has got a spirit of it's own. You can do lots of stuff with it as long as you will use your imagination.
"How to make a bass patch from scratch on the Dave Smith Instruments Pro 2 synthesizer. We're not going after a specific bass patch but we'll get into a general bass territory from which you can sculpt your own. The basic concept is to have a software wave in the lower register, a richer wave a couple octave higher, an "organ"-style VCA envelope and a plucky filter envelope. We then explore adding things like hack, decimator, drive and distortion and finally play around with the sequencer."
'Back again!! But before we begin, a few important words..."

2. Studio Time: S2E1 - Composing for Strings (Part 1) - "In this episode, I discuss how I wrote a key theme for the film "Brimstone". I'll explore the melody, how I transcribed it for strings, some notes on harmony, and finally show you the final result with the recorded orchestra. I'll also discuss the various plug-ins I use."

"The C103 is a module that combines two frequency dividers and two frequency multipliers. This new MKII version, adds a lot of functionality to the original design. It has four built in mixers , new individual outputs and new voltage controlled distortion circuit with independent output. Additionally each divider and multiplier stage has his own level potentiometer.
The C103 MKII can be used in many different ways:
As subctave Generator
To create complex and rich sounds from a simple waveform.
To create synchronized modulations
As a clock divider
As frequency multiplier
To create complex modulation signals
As a voltage controlled distortion unit
As pattern generator
This new version retains the same functionality than the original C103 using the Switched mixer but it goes one step further. Thanks to the new level potentiometers , the divider and the multiplier of each stage can have different signal levels.

Here's an interesting one spotted and sent in via Florian Anwander.
"An extremely remarkable tape echo. I have never seen it before. Appearently it is possible to place the replay heads in many different positions. No used parts of the circle are filled with idler pulleys"
